I wasn't interested in old machines until my 18 yo Grandson was helping a friend's family move and they gave him a brand new - never used Vanderdvoort sewing machine. It is a Badged Singer 15 Clone, Made in Japan, probably in the 50s. I gave him $25.00 for lugging it home then I gave him another $75.00 because it is new and it sews up a storm. Brand new would be all I would be interested in, it is my 6th sewing machine and I could barely find room for it and a table. I have a very small house. I need to get rid of one machine that is about worn out, not very old, just used alot.
